We had our first "Hot Dog Hoedown" at the Graham's...of course Greers' hot dog won the contest!

and then we spent a great week at the beach in Dennis "down the Cape" with the Fourniers...the weather was perfect ALL WEEK!

August

After vaca, we headed right into Wolverine's Cheer Season and this year I helped to coach Diana's team

It was definitely one of the biggest highlights of my year and such quality time spent with my special girl!

The D8 Team!

UCA Camp was a good experience for Diana- even though she got scared and didn't stay overnight, she enjoyed the day time sessions and even won an award for being a hard worker!

It was also the "Summer of Swim" for Diana....swim lessons...time at Sky Meadow and lots of pool play dates with friends from town...she completely lost her fear and started even jumping into the deep end with no bubble!

Had so much fun this summer at Beth Ann's pool

and I enjoyed some golf lessons with some lady friends from town!

Team Will had a fun night in Boston!

and who doesn't love a little Slip-N-Slide!?

Diana turned 7 and we celebrated with a "Pancakes and Pajamas" Party!

September

Back to school time! Diana is so blessed to have Mrs. Martin this year- she has more energy than Diana if you can believe it! What a great match...can't say enough great things about her!

The day before school started, Diana got to meet her!

and on the first day of school, we took our obligatory photos of course :)

I carried on the tradition in town of "Moms and Mimosas"...once the kids got on the bus...the moms celebrated...I mean mourned ;)

Wolverines Jaguars Day was a Blast!

and then we headed to the beach for the rest of Labor Day Weekend....had a ball with some of our closest friends from town

My birthday festivities were so fun...a night out at BWG with my closest pals ever

and my mom made me a special dinner...she never disappoints!

Hit the pumpkin patch with some cheer pals!

October

We tried to cram in as many Fun Fall activities as possible!

We hit the Milford Pumpkin Festival with Mimi and Papa

Rob and I attended a Murder Mystery Party at a friend's house in town- what a blast!

This year's Halloween Turf Bash was Epic- I don't know how we did it but we pulled together 20 of us and all had different Super Heroes and Villains Costumes- we blew this picture up and framed it for all of our friends!

and Halloween itself was a blast....Diana was Maleficent and Eva was Baby Sleeping Beauty

We visited Mimi, Papa and Uncle Matt first

We ended up our night at Laurel and Tom's which was so...much...fun!

November

We attended the NHIAA Championship Football Game at UNH to support our hometown team

The Windham High School Jaguars

The night before Thanksgiving, Rob and Kevin played at Red's...we had a blast watching them and I even got to sing a song...Who Says You Can't Go Home...Bon Jovi and Jennifer Nettles

Thanksgiving Morning we did the Annual Turkey Trot as a family!

I even went Black Friday shopping w/ my BFF for the first time-we had a blast!

The next day, we hit the Stone Zoo Lights with Mimi and Papa Pete!
